Who are you? Tell us about yourself.

My name is Anthony Carbonaro and I'm an Independent candidate running for Michigan's 13th Congressional District which encompasses Detroit and Downriver areas.

I was adopted from Romania into a working-class family. My Father is an industrial business owner and my mother is a beautician who formerly worked with disabled students.

From an early age, I grew up with hopes of becoming a pilot for the military. Although I received a congressional nomination to attend the United States Naval Academy from the late John Dingell jr., my hopes were halted due to wrongful incarceration. Since then, I've worked in many fields such as driving a delivery truck, serving food in many restaurants, and owning a small service-based business.

I will fight to make congress work better for the American people. We have experienced the consequences of polar opposite leadership. We do not have time to sit around and fight the narrative of these disconnected leaders. We must fight to end the gridlock between the democrats and republicans.

The 1% has taken over our country and many other countries. We can win back our country by creating legislation that will end price gouging and create more jobs. It's time we fight by stopping the regimes of the few by fighting back with the many.

Please list below 3 key messages of your campaign. What are the main points you want voters to remember about your goals for your time in office?

JobsEnd price gougingWin back our country

What areas of public policy are you personally passionate about?

It's time we pass legislation that affects all people. Republicans and Democrats have their own narrative they want to push on the American people instead of the American People having their own word. I know, for a fact, that both Republicans and Democrats live in Michigan's 13th Congressional District and that we can find meaningful legislation that we can all compromise on.
